A new materials technique has taken cues from Grandma's yarn bag and cutting-edge technology, and it could see us 'solid knitting' whole furniture sets, as well as the fabrics that cover them. What's ...

The furniture of the future could be made from nothing more than two long strands of yarn. A prototype manufacturing machine developed at Carnegie Mellon University is transforming traditional textile ...

Researchers have detailed the physics behind a phenomenon that allows them to create spin in liquid droplets using ultrasound waves, which concentrates solid particles suspended in the liquid. The ...

A new fabrication technique from the Robotics Institute called solid knitting could one day knit everyday items like footwear or furniture. Right now, the recently demonstrated prototype machine can ...

Established processes for digital light manufacturing print objects that are made from materials called photopolymers and use one of two main configurations. In the first, light patterns are projected ...

Researchers have developed a metallic gel that is highly electrically conductive and can be used to print three-dimensional (3D) solid objects at room temperature. Researchers have developed a ...
